Cohen showed he can do all that McCaffrey can do, only better.

Rushing avg around 3 ypc, I think. 8 or so on receptions, nothing in the return game. Much ado about very little, and I think that will be the story of his career as a pro.

running backs are batteries. You use them, then you replace them… That’s how the NFL has treated RBs for the last decade+.

Certain franchises don’t believe that. Carolina is one of them. Gee, I wonder why they can’t win a SB?

Marty Hurney was one of the biggest morons I have ever seen as a GM. Giving Delhomme that monster contract and in 2009 and not trading Peppers for draft picks, are just 2 of his unbelievable gaffes in the cap era.

I agree so it really makes me wonder why teams draft them in the 1st round?

Most overrated coach ever. Proof to me you don’t need to be a great coach to make it to the Super Bowl. He’s had just two winning seasons in his 7-year career as a HC. Same to be said for Gary Kubiak. He won a Super Bowl, but just 5 winning seasons in his 10 year HC career. Interesting that SB win came with Peyton.

I was unaware that Kubiak is considered a great coach?

You could have used the blank stare of Jim Caldwell or Mangini, or Lovie, or Pagano…

I mean, any of the above would have worked. But you went with Kubiak?

Sunday will be a big test as the Bills’ run defense is a lot stouter than the 49-ers. Since the idea is to win the game and the testing phase is over, we will likely see a lot more Cam and a lot more passing.

Tue, 12 Sep 2017 15:03:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2476568#comment-5798017I realize there is a difference between football in college & NFL. And I can respect Riviera’s coach to player insight.
Anyone know what McCaffrey batteries were used in the Stanford vs. Iowa bowl game?
